dot1x port-control
378
dot1x port-control
Sets the port-control status for an interface that has been set. Entering this command also
enables the IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication functionality.
Syntax
To set or change information:
dot1x port-control {auto | force-authorized | force-unauthorized}
To delete information:
no dot1x port-control
Input mode
(config-if)
Parameters
{auto | force-authorized | force-unauthorized}
auto
IEEE 802.1X authentication processing is performed. The authentication
result determines whether communication for the terminals connected to the
interface is possible.
force-authorized
IEEE 802.1X authentication is not performed, and communication by the
terminals connected to the interface that has been set is always possible. This
parameter can be set only if the mode for port-based authentication (static) is
single mode.
force-unauthorized
IEEE 802.1X authentication is not performed, and communication by the
terminals connected to the interface that has been set is never possible. This
parameter can be set only if the mode for port-based authentication (static) is
single mode.
1. Default value when this parameter is omitted:
This parameter cannot be omitted.
2. Range of values:
auto, force-authorized, or force-unauthorized
Default behavior
The port-based authentication functionality is disabled.
Impact on communication
None
When the change is applied
The change is applied immediately after setting values are changed.
Notes
1. All IEEE 802.1X settings take effect when the dot1x system-auth-control
command is set.
2. See Table 22-1 Configuration commands and IEEE 802.1X authentication modes for
